Collaborative Paper on (La,Sr)2CuO4 Surface Reconstructions Published in Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A

  • Publication date December 21, 2021

Our collaborative paper with Dr. Eren Suyolcu of Cornell University and Prof. Gennady Logvenov of Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research is out today in the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A. In this work, Eren performed in situ experiments examining the surface reconstructions of Sr-doped La2CuO4 films grown by MBE. Using reflection…Continue Reading Collaborative Paper on (La,Sr)2CuO4 Surface Reconstructions Published in Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A

LaFeO3 Thin Film OER Catalysis Study Published in Journal of Materials Chemistry A

  • Publication date December 20, 2021

Our collaborative work with Prof. Byron Farnum’s group is out today in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A. This work was co-led by Andricus Burton in the Farnum group and Rajendra Paudel in FINO Lab and examines the role of film thickness on catalytic performance of LaFeO3 catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction. It draws…Continue Reading LaFeO3 Thin Film OER Catalysis Study Published in Journal of Materials Chemistry A

Collaborative Paper on Fe2TiO4 Thin Films Published

  • Publication date July 16, 2021

Our collaborative paper led by Dr. Tiffany Kaspar of Pacific Northwest National Lab has been published in the Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter! Rajendra Paudel in our group and Tami Isaacs-Smith in the Auburn accelerator lab performed Rutherford back scattering analysis on the films to support the work. These interesting spinel oxides are good candidates…Continue Reading Collaborative Paper on Fe2TiO4 Thin Films Published

Paper on Co-Mn Spinel Films Published in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter

  • Publication date December 22, 2020

Miles’ paper on the electronic and structural properties of epitaxial Co1+xMn2-xO4 spinel thin films is now out in the Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. In this paper we examine the role of the Jahn-Teller distortion in stabilizing the electronic structure of the material as well as Co and Mn ionic coordination and valence. We show…Continue Reading Paper on Co-Mn Spinel Films Published in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter
